The Government has officially implemented the digital certificate of origin (COD) for commercial operations with Chile.
The measure was announced through the General resolution 4608/2019 published this Friday (11.10.2019) in the Official Gazette. According to the rule, Exporters of merchandise destined for Chile and importers who import merchandise originating in that country within the framework of the Economic Complementation Agreements (ACE) No. 35, whose operations are registered as of Wednesday, October 14, 2018, may use the Digital Certificate of Origin (COD) or the certificate of origin in paper format.
To present the COD, the customs service assistant must access the “SETI Digital Certificate of Origin” service, available on the website of this Federal Administration (http://www.afip.gob.ar), using the Tax Code enabled with security level 3, as a minimum. Operators who choose to use the digital certificate must observe the procedural guidelines contained in the “External User Manual” available on the “Digital Certificate of Origin (COD)” microsite of the AFIP website.
The regulations clarify that the certificate in paper format may be used even when a COD has been presented, provided that the certification modality mentioned above is indicated when registering the import destination.
Customs will be the one to carry out the controls related to the COD through the "Certificate of Origin Viewer", details the resolution signed by Federal Administrator Leandro Cuccioli.
